Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the India National Cricket Team faced another shambolic loss in Test cricket. They were at the receiving end of an 184-run thrashing at the hands of the Australia National Cricket Team at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Along with him senior players in KL Rahul, who bagged a duck, and Virat Kohli (5) were back in the hut early as India came under massive pressure. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 84 runs, looked the only settled batter in the team and was supported well by Rishabh Pant (30).
A lot of guys that you talk about, who made runs, could have played longer - Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma admitted that there was a great opportunity for them to draw or even win. But he pointed out that youngsters could've batted for longer periods, stressing that they will learn from this. Speaking to reporters, he explained:
Rohit Sharma doesn’t have any shame left ??? Instead of taking the blame, brother is saying youngsters , could’ve played long innings. What the hell you were doing as an opener ? What the hell Virat was doing ? pic.twitter.com/ZcGKI8lCWR

"But there comes a time where you need to step back a little bit and give him that little bit of extra breather as well. So, we've been very careful. I've been very careful. I talk to him about how he feels and stuff like that. So, yeah. Those things should be managed carefully. And I'm trying to do that on the field."
